Hey guys :)

I recently did a 12 Hour Animation Challenge in which, with a time limit of 12 hours, I challenged myself to complete an animation from start to finish. If you're an animator yourself and are interested, I've made the full .FLA file freely available for you to download here: http://bit.ly/SkyshipFla

Check out the movie here:

www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/657201

If you're interested in learning more about how I made it, I'll be uploading time lapse videos and the full 12 hour stream on my YouTube channel, so go subscribe if you haven't!

In other news, I've also just launched May's Challenge of the Month! This one has an epic and broad theme so if you would like to push your own creative skills and challenge yourself, while having a shot at some great prizes, consider joining in!

That's it for now, until next time, see ya later :)

Keep creative y'all

I'm excited to announce, that I've just launched my new eBook, Draw with Jazza - Fun with Faces! It's been in the works for a long time now, along with the photo reference pack, which you can get in a bundle for a discount!

Fun with Faces is an eBook that teaches not only how to draw a face, but how to draw one with style! It teaches how to draw all of the features of the face accurately and expressively, explores facial construction and manipulation, and delves into character design, style variation, and more. If you want to draw cartoon and comic book characters, then this is the eBook for you!
